Comparing The Conners to The Hogan Family

[horsemen4ever]

So how do those two sitcom compair with the transition they had to make. I see it as very similar. Yeah Valerie was not a reboot or sequel of a series that happened 20 years earlier, but still. The sitcom that suppose to center on the materiarch of the family. Than the star gets fired, and the main character is killed off.

The Hogan Family lasted 4 seasons post Valerie Harpers, The Connors is in its second season, is has some more to go to be as successful as the Hogan Family in logjivity.

Yeahhhhhh, let's keep it with how the shows are doing/will do.

Well it's been a long time since I've seen the Valerie/Valerie's family/ The Harpers to compared it to the quality of Roseanne/The Connors. That being said, Roseanne ran for 10 seasons (9 in the original run, 1 in this new run) with season 9 being the worst season of the show. Roseanne had many behind the scenes struggles with producers, but interestingly the only big cast change was Lecy Goranson/Sarah Chalke and that really didn't hurt the show. Roseanne was a pioneer in changing the family dynamics in sitcoms to a more realistic portrayal. I imagine The Harpers was more of a traditional 80s sitcom.

To expand the discussion we may want to consider shows with big cast changes that change the dynamic of the show. Now the the Harpers and the Connors appear to be a handful of sitcoms that was able to change the dynamics and still be successful. That 70s Show changed producers and the exit of Topher Grace really screwed up the chemistry of that 70s show. 8 Simple Rules lost the magic after the death of John Ritter.

I thought the exact same thing, that we were to compare and contrast Roseanne to Hogan Knows Best.

Just don't work yourself into a shoot, brother.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Rosanne Conner's not ready brother, she's too small and can't work. Also she's dead. Knobbs do something stupid and inexplicable to fill time.

Wait- that's not what this thread is about?
